Ep 14: Samuel Shem |Failure, creativity and life as a clinician
Update: 2017-01-21
Description
Have you read the novel "The House of God" by psychiatrist Samuel Shem? I read it when I was in medical school and it deeply influenced me.
The book tells a captivating story of what it's like to be a Harvard resident with lots of humor, drama and wisdom.
I've had the great pleasure to interview Samuel Shem for you. In this conversation we cover lots of ground like:
- The best advice he ever got
- What his creative process looks like
- How he came up with the idea for The House of God
- How failure has set him up for success
- The quote he lives by
- And much, much more
